Elly is a Hadoop HDFS and Yarn client. It provides:

• A familiar Julia ClusterManager interface, making it possible to use the familiar Julia parallel constructs on any Hadoop/Yarn cluster: addprocs, @parallel, spawn, pmap, etc.
• Lower level APIs to write native Yarn applications.
• A familiar Julia IO API for accessing HDFS files. It is a pure Julia implementation with no dependencies on libhdfs.

• HDFS using Elly
• Yarn Applications using Elly
• Julia Cluster Manager for Yarn

• Since Elly uses the newer Protobuf interface, it requires a Hadoop 2.2+ distribution.
